Sony’sUnchartedmovie has put Mark Wahlberg to play Victor " Sully " Sullivan opposite Tom Holland as a untried Nathan Drake . This casting is all the more noteworthy since , several years back , Wahlberg was really set to bring Drakehimself , with his frequent pardner David O. Russell directing . And although that variant ultimately never made it past pre - production , it turns out Wahlberg is still going to be part of theUnchartedadaptation after all .
Based on the video secret plan franchise ( which launch in 2007 withUncharted : Drake ’s Fortuneon PlayStation 3 ) , theUnchartedmovie will serve as an origin story for theIndiana Jones - esque gem Orion Nathan Drake . The plastic film has passed through the hands of multiple film writer and director since it entered development in the late 2000s , resulting in a nearly - equal issue of liberation date delays along the way . Currently , however , it ’s prepare to unfold in December 2020,with Travis Knight ( Bumblebee ) directingfrom a script byIron Manduo Matt Holloway and Art Marcum , as well asAgents of SHIELDveteran Rafe Judkins .

agree toVariety , Wahlberg is in concluding talks to costar inUnchartedas Sully . The character is an American hoarded wealth hunter and crafty businessman who terminate up befriend and mentor the young Drake in the way of his line of work .
In theUnchartedvideo biz , Sully is vocalize by Richard McGonagle and met Drake when the latter was still an orphan wandering around Colombia , before survive on to become his foster Father-God . The graphic symbol , as you might await , is a scoundrel who ’s always develop others to fund his treasure James Henry Leigh Hunt ( land him in changeless debt ) , but is extremely skilled when it comes to making his way around the earth . Back in 2017 , it was rumored thatBryan Cranston was being eyedto play the role , though the cast was never confirmed and , obviously , a deal never materialized . And while Cranston would ’ve been an eld - appropriate choice for the part , it ’s long been indicated that Sony may’ve wantedsomeone younger ( like Wahlberg ) to toy Sully , instead .
At one power point , Holland named hisSpider - Man : Far From HomecostarJake Gyllenhaal and fellow MCU histrion Chris Pratt ( who voices Holland ’s elf blood brother in the coming Pixar animated fantasy film , Onward ) as his top picks to play Sully . It ’ll be crucial for Drake and Sully to have crackling chemistry inUncharted , so it only makes sense that Holland had his center on two people that he ’d either already join forces with by then or has since . That being said , Wahlberg clearly has a soft spot forUncharted , and the photographic film ’s product squad seem to trust he ’s the right man for the job . We will see if they ’re right in about thirteen months from now , whenUnchartedfinally ( hopefully ) reach theaters .
